Preferred Label : HLA-A*0201-Restricted VEGFR1 Peptide Vaccine;
NCIt synonyms : HLA-A 0201-Restricted VEGFR1 Peptide Vaccine;
NCIt definition : A cancer vaccine containing an HLA-A*0201-restricted vascular endothelial growth factor
receptor 1 (VEGFR1) peptide (sequence: TLFWLLLTL) with potential immunostimulatory
and antitumor activities. Upon administration, HLA-A*0201-restricted VEGFR1-derived
peptide vaccine may stimulate a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response against tumor
cells expressing VEGFR1, resulting in tumor cell lysis and decreased tumor growth.
HLA-A*0201 is an MHC class I molecule that presents antigenic peptides to CD8 T cells;
epitope design restricted to epitopes that bind most efficiently to HLA-A*0201 may
improve antigenic peptide immunogenicity.;
